Chris Craig—Fixed Ops Curriculum Developer at RockED and content creator with 135,000 followers across platforms—has built his following by saying the things most people are afraid to post. In this episode, he breaks down why showing both sides of every industry argument is slowly shifting the culture, from the ASE certification debate to the 30/30/30 myth, what shops get wrong when hiring new grads, and the financial traps that push young techs out of the trade.Watch the video recordingAbout the EpisodeHost: Jay Goninen, WrenchWay, jayg@wrenchway.comGuest: Chris Craig, RockED, chris.craig@rocked.usLinks & ResourcesGet notified of new episodes --> Join our email listJoin the ASE Connects CommunityASE Connects brings shops, dealerships, and schools together in one structured network to strengthen the technician pipeline.

Thanks to our Partners, Pico Technology, Autel, and Independent Wrench JobsWatch Full Video EpisodeIn this wide-ranging "mailbag" style episode, Matt Fanslow dives into a mix of technical, professional, and lifestyle questions from listeners. The conversation moves from the intimidating complexity of quantum physics and why it makes discussing "basic" electricity difficult, to practical advice on commercial versus consumer lawn equipment. Matt also tackles the controversial topic of flat-rate pay plans and the importance of ethical systems in the shop, before wrapping up with some lighter notes on AI, mental health resources, and a controversial "Mount Rushmore" of musical bands.Key Topics and Highlights1. The Struggle with "Basic" Electricity & Quantum PhysicsMatt addresses why he often avoids "fundamental" electricity discussions. He argues that what we call "fundamentals" are often inaccurate "gimmicks."The Reality of Particles: Particles aren't just little spheres; they are perturbations of quantum fields.The Double Slit Experiment: Matt explains the particle wave duality and how electrons create an interference pattern rather than simple columns.Applicability vs. Truth: While "water analogies" work 99% of the time for fixing taillights, they fail to explain phenomena like inductive misfire or signal ringing. Matt wrestles with balancing "useful" information with the complex truth.2. The Great Lawnmower Debate: Buy Once, Cry OnceResponding to listener interest, Matt breaks down the difference between consumer and commercial mowing equipment.Cut Quality: Commercial mowers (Toro, Exmark, Scag) have higher blade tip speeds and better lift, resulting in a cleaner cut and natural striping.Hydrostatics & Power: The ability to handle inclines and zero-turn response time is significantly better in commercial units.The "Real" Answer: Dealer Support. Buy the brand that has a high-quality, reliable dealer nearby for parts and service.3. Flat Rate: Ethical Systems vs. GamificationMatt shares his perspective on flat-rate pay plans, echoing the sentiment that "it depends."Game Theory: Pay plans set the rules of a "game." If the system (parts ordering, dispatching, management) is broken, employees will view the game as "negative sum" and either quit or try to break it.Fairness: It isn't about the specific plan; it's about whether the staff deems the system fair and ethical.Profit Sharing: Matt discusses the success of his shop's hybrid model: a strong base salary supplemented by profit sharing.4. Rapid Fire: AI, Mental Health, and MusicArtificial Intelligence: Matt clarifies that LLMs (Large Language Models) like ChatGPT and Gemini are essentially "predictive text on steroids." He doesn't fear for automotive jobs but sees them as evolving tools.Mental Health: A shout-out to Margaret Light and her work at Equilibrium Therapy, emphasizing the need for better communication and counseling within shop environments.The Mount Rushmore of Bands: Matt puts his neck on the line with his top four most influential bands:The Beatles (The Blueprint)Black Sabbath (Founders of Heavy Metal)The Temptations (Motown/Soul Influence)Run-DMC (The Bridge for Hip-Hop)Mentioned in this EpisodeSponsors: Pico Technology, Autel, and Independent Wrench Jobs.Resources: Margaret Light (Equilibrium Therapy), John Riggle, Sean Tipping, and Tommy Oliva.Connect: Email Matt at Mattfanslowpodcast@gmail.com or find him on Facebook Messenger.What does your "Mount Rushmore of Bands" look like?

Neulich hat mein aktueller Asbach-Uralt eReader von Kobo beinahe die Grätsche gemacht. Für mich ein Anlass, mal in die Recherche zu gehen (und euch teilhaben zu lassen): Wenn ich heute einen neuen eReader kaufen würde - welche Marke und welches Modell würde ich wählen? Vorteile von eReadern - eInk-Technologie schont die Augen und die Batterie des eReaders, sodass man lange/viel lesen kann - eReader wiegen ca. 200g bis maximal knapp 430g (je nach Modell) und sind somit leicht zu halten oder auf Reisen leichtes Gepäck - durch die geringe Größe der eBook-Dateien passt deine ganze Bibliothek auf deinen eReader - viele Modelle haben mittlerweile eine integrierte Beleuchtung und Wasserschutz, sodass du auch ohne Lampe in dunklen Zimmern oder in der Badewanne lesen kannst - laut Bookwire beträgt außerdem der durchschnittliche Preis von eBooks 7,61€, während gedruckte Bücher im Schnitt auf fast das Doppelte kommen (15,69€), sodass eBooks in der Regel deutlich günstiger sind (hier habe ich erst nach der Aufnahme gemerkt, dass Bookwire sich den amerikanischen Markt anschaut, was natürlich von der deutschen Realität mit der Buchpreisbindung stark abweicht). Je nach Anbieter gibt es auch Gratis-eBooks, die man im jeweiligen Shop erhält. Übersicht verschiedener eReader-Marken und -Modellen Ich schaue mir die eReader-Marken Amazon Kindle, Kobo, PocketBook und Tolino näher an und vergleiche die Features. Meine Entscheidung: Welchen eReader würde ich mir kaufen? Ich würde mir momentan den Tolino Vision Color kaufen. Warum? Er kann auf Bücherei-Bücher zugreifen, epub-Dateien wiedergeben (gut für meinen bisherigen SuB und Rezensionsexemplare), und man kann lokale Buchhandlungen unterstützen, indem man auf dem Gerät selbst bei der Buchhandlung seiner Wahl kauft. Mich sprechen außerdem die Seitentasten zum komfortablen Blättern und die Möglichkeit, Notizen mit einem Stift machen zu können, an. Wie alle/viele andere hat er außerdem Beleuchtung, Wasserschutz, ist leicht und hat einen großen Speicherplatz. Eine Familienfreigabe gäbe es auch noch, und Hörbücher kann man auf ihm ebenfalls erwerben und via Bluetooth abspielen. Hörbuch-Flatrate-Vergleich Außerdem habe ich mir mal einen Überblick über die diversen Hörbuch-Flatrates verschafft. Welcher Hörbuch-Anbieter kostet wie viel, was ist enthalten, und wo bekommt man die meiste Auswahl? Wo kann man Geld sparen, wenn man gerne viele Hörbücher hören möchte? Hier habe ich mir Audible (Amazon, Bücherei-Angebote (Onleihe / Libby, BookBeat, Storytel, Nextory und Spotify angeschaut. Ich hoffe, die Episode hat euch Spaß gemacht und geholfen, in diesem Dschungel an eReader- und Hörbuch-Flatrate-Anbietern ein bisschen besser durchzublicken. Besitzt ihr bereits einen eReader? Wenn ja: Von welcher Marke, welches Modell, und könnt ihr es empfehlen? Und nutzt ihr eine Hörbuch-Flatrate? Wenn ja: Welche, lohnt es sich für euch und wie werden die Stunden bei schnellerer Wiedergabe gegen das Stundenkontingent gerechnet? Liebe Grüße, eure Ilana
Agenturen und Freelancer: Stunden tracken vs. Wert-basiert abrechnenStunden schreiben, Tickets buchen, Angebote schätzen und am Ende trotzdem das Gefühl haben, am eigentlichen Problem vorbeizuarbeiten. Kommt dir bekannt vor? Dann ist diese Episode genau dein Ding. Denn wir gehen einer Frage nach, die viele in Agenturen, im Freelancing und in der Softwareentwicklung beschäftigt. Was passiert, wenn wir nicht mehr primär Zeit verkaufen, sondern Wert? Und warum wird genau diese Frage durch KI, Automatisierung und immer schnellere Delivery plötzlich noch viel relevanter?In dieser Episode sprechen wir mit Christoph, Geschäftsführer der E Commerce Agentur Pixolith, über Agenturgeschäft, Billable Hours, Value Based Pricing, Angebotsphasen, Vertrauen in Kundenprojekten und die Psychologie hinter Preisfindung. Wir schauen auf konkrete Beispiele aus dem E Commerce, auf B2B und B2C Shops, auf Shopware, Shopify, Updates, Migrationen und die Frage, wie sich Wert überhaupt greifbar machen lässt.Außerdem diskutieren wir, warum Scrum diese Abrechnungsfrage nicht löst, wo Goodhart's Law plötzlich sehr praktisch wird und weshalb KI nicht nur Code beschleunigt, sondern auch Beratung, Vertrieb und Delivery verändert.Wenn du verstehen willst, wie Agenturen kalkulieren, warum Stundensätze oft falsche Anreize setzen und wo Value Based Working wirklich funktioniert, bekommst du hier reichlich Stoff zum Mitdenken.Bonus mit Augenzwinkern: Selbst ein Klopapier Shop kann zum strategischen Lehrstück für Pricing, Vertrauen und Softwareprojekte werden.Unsere aktuellen Werbepartner findest du auf https://engineeringkiosk.dev/partnersDas schnelle Feedback zur Episode:

Mr. Walkie Talkie... the shop owner with that southern draw...the man who's hair is ALWAYS perfect...Mr. Lucas Underwood. Lucas talks about why communication MUST improve between owners and techs, and how more empathy and understanding can completely shift the culture inside a shop. They talk about the risks of leaning too heavily on service information without double checking procedures, especially when safety and liability are at stake. Lucas also gives money advice for technicians, including why thinking long-term and investing in retirement accounts can make a huge difference down the road.Timestamps:00:00 Future of ADAS and Calibration05:54 "Vehicle Diagnostics and Calibration"13:31 Grace, Mistakes, and Quick Decisions17:03 "Frustrations and Fixes with Tech"26:12 "Removing Emotion from Business"30:47 Purpose Found in Helping Others37:27 "Happiness Comes From Within"41:59 "Finding Happiness Amid Toxicity"48:05 "Miscommunication Resolved Through Dialogue"51:11 Communication Growth and Therapy Reflections54:33 "Social Media's Impact on Behavior"01:02:32 "Compound Growth: $695k to Millions"01:11:01 "Planning Future Security and Freedom"01:14:30 "Growth, Respect, and Reflection"01:17:28 "Reflections on Unfiltered Insights" Follow/Subscribe to the show on social media!

Thanks to our Partners, NAPA Auto Care and NAPA TRACS This episode dives into the real challenges of technician retention and why it's time to rebrand automotive careers, moving beyond the outdated terms “mechanic” or “technician” to embrace the title of “specialist.” Craig Noel unpacks the urgent need to move away from traditional flat rate pay systems and toward compensation models that prioritize fair pay, financial security, and work-life balance. He also shares his own innovative pay structure designed to reward skill and dedication while keeping top talent engaged. Craig Noel, Sun Automotive, Springfield, OR.

Hear how he cut $65 off his cost per productive hour, eliminated unnecessary staff, and started handing out technician bonus checks as high as $3,500 a week.If you've ever felt overwhelmed running a service business—or questioned if it's all worth it—Jim's honest, no-fluff story will hit home. This is about commitment, leadership, and what happens when you finally go all in.Social Media Links:InstagramTNFR- https://www.instagram.com/thenewflatrateFacebookTNFR- https://www.facebook.com/TheNewFlatRateLinkedInTNFR- https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-new-flat-rate-inc-/posts/?feedView=allLinks and Resources:thenewflatrate.com

A lot of contractors are great at their trade but end up stuck when it comes to pricing their work in a way that reflects its real value. The old way of quoting jobs—flat fees or guessing what the customer will accept—just doesn't cut it anymore. Too often, it means walking away from jobs with less money than you should've earned, even when you did everything right. A smarter pricing system doesn't just help with the numbers—it changes how customers see the value of what you're offering. And when that clicks, the whole business starts to feel less like a hustle and more like it's finally working for you. Danielle Putnam is the president of The New Flat Rate, a company revolutionizing pricing for home service contractors through menu-based systems. Coming from a multigenerational background in HVAC and plumbing, Danielle knows the industry inside and out. Today, she emphasizes how offering tiered pricing options empowers technicians to close higher-value jobs, improve customer satisfaction, and boost earnings—without feeling like salespeople. She also addresses common pushbacks to adopting new pricing models and how a strategic pricing reset can drive long-term business growth and technician confidence. Stay tuned!

There are a lot of misconceptions about flat rate pricing and one is that you don't need to know your hourly rate if you charge flat rate. While you may be charging flat rate, knowing your hourly cost is still essential for goal setting (and how you're going to meet that goal via investment in ads, more efficient equipment, etc), tracking, and goal achievement. If you're looking to really build a business and not just do the work and hope the numbers work out at the end, you NEED to know your hourly rate.

I'm tackling a question I hear all the time: “How do lawyers get paid—and what actually happens if my case takes an unexpected turn?” This week, I'm breaking down a listener's real-world concerns about flat rate fees in criminal defense cases. I'll walk you through how these agreements usually work, what you should look for in a fee contract, and why it's so important to have clear communication about money from the very start.I'll also dig into how retainer fees and hourly billing can play a role, discuss the kinds of additional expenses you might run into, and share some of my own experiences to help make sense of it all. Whether you're in the process of hiring an attorney or just curious about the financial side of legal work, I'll explain what you need to know in straightforward, practical terms. Key Moments00:00 "Essential Engagement Letter Practices"05:23 Flat Rate vs. Hourly Fees08:48 Understanding Lawyer Fees Limitations10:10 Legal Fee DeterminantsHere are 3 key takeawaysGet It in Writing: Always ensure your fee agreement is crystal clear and in writing. This protects both you and your attorney and eliminates confusion about what the fee covers—especially with flat rates.Flat Fees = Predictability, but Also Flexibility: Flat fees offer peace of mind, but circumstances can change. Make sure your agreement mentions what happens if the case is dismissed quickly, or if unexpected complications arise that require more work.Ask Questions, Don't Assume: Steve stressed the importance of open communication. Ask your lawyer exactly what's included in the fee, how they handle additional expenses, and whether there are extra charges if your case goes further than expected.Got a question you want answered on the podcast?
